Ok, here's some intelligent critique. Gord Johns was a stupid choice by the NDP who should have known more about their candidates before they even let him run for nomination let alone chose him to run federally. Ok, here's some intelligent analysis. His running has changed my loyalties to the Liberals. This area needs a better person in Ottawa than Gord Johns who has some of those clearly Lunnyesque qualities we so despised here. Lunny seemingly was there for the pay cheque and rich parliamentary pension. I don't see Gord Johns going there for any other reason either. Remember as someone who was self employed in unsuccessful businesses he has no company pension cheque. So you want to send him off to Ottawa for a few years so he can collect a fat pension? His legacy in Tofino doesn't scream brilliance deserving of such rewards does it?
Only two people wanted to run in this riding for the NDP.While Mulcair has steered the party to the centre the party is still trying to appeal to the Eco-Weenies .How this fits in with a pro-union,working class party is beyond me.
Media Requests John has lived in British Columbia his entire life. He was raised in the Crows Nest Pass, Kamloops and North Vancouver. He graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor of Science from the Faculty of Forestry in 1972.
After graduation, John worked in the BC coastal forest industry. He has lived and worked in Duncan, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Ucluelet, Port Clements, Sayward, Courtenay and Campbell River.
John has been involved in many community level volunteer activities; Chair of the Chamber of Commerce, Chair of the Recreation Commission, Head of the Logger Sports, and President of the Historical Society which has given him a keen understanding of local priorities and issues in Coastal communities.
John was first elected to the House of Commons in 1993 and has remained committed to serving our region. In 2008, John became Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs and Northern Development. In August 2010, he was appointed Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians, and Minister of the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency. In 2011 he continued his appointment as Minister but under the new title of Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development until February 2013. In July 2013, John was appointed as Minister of State and Chief Government Whip.
Throughout his career John has always been, and continues to be, motivated by his commitment to public service and to serve the constituents of Vancouver Island North.

More evidence that Gordo can't run his own business http://www.tripadvisor.ca/Hotel_Review-g154942-d6578566-Reviews-Gordo_s_Beach_House-Tofino_Clayoquot_Sound_Vancouver_Island_British_Columbia.html#REVIEWS
Perhaps I've been living under a rock.......but it appears to me that Gord Johns has, so far in the campaign, done exactly what he's best at..... nothing! I haven't heard a speech, seen an interview, been enlightened as to his platform.... Is he in Canada? Is he on Vancouver Island? I suppose, for the NDP, it's all for the best. Let's hope that if he gets elected that he'll sit quietly in the backbenches and not embarass us. Hardly the type of performance one would expect for $167K.....except from a politician.
We need a video of Gord Johns doing something stupid.
ReplyDeletePersonal attacks don't help anyone... Intelligent critique and analysis please.
